Boys U13's Spitfires - Bedworth Eagles

Thursday 16th May

Stockton juniors u12 vs Bedworth Eagles U12

This evening we hosted 2nd place Bedworth Eagles.

First half was an end to end game with both teams getting the ball down and playing great football. The visitors struggled to create any clear cut opportunities and when they did manage to get the odd shot at goal Jensen showed great hands. In attack Stockton created a few chances with Dougie, Ben and Chace all getting into good areas but unable to find the net.

Half time 0-0

Early in the second half Stockton started to pile on the pressure but it was the visitors who took the lead 10 minutes in. Going a goal behind did not phase Stockton and they continued to create chances, pass the ball well but struggled to find the killer touch in front of goal. With 10 minutes to go we threw everything at it. With the boys pushing forward in search of an equaliser it left gaps at the back but Bedworth did not extended their lead thanks to Jensen. He made an incredible double save, diving to his right to save a shot in the top corner and then quickly recovered to save the follow up from 2 yards out. Stockton kept knocking on the door right until the final minute but could not find the equalising goal they deserved.

Tonight's performance really showed the potential the team has and how far they have come this season. On another day they could of easily come away winners but it just wasn't meant to be tonight!
